Try checking out the program called 'guardian', or the bootblock from the
system Z viruskiller, they stay resident using the KickTagPtr.

Using the KickTagPtr is probably what you want for your utility.

About the WarmCapture, it is never called !! (probably reserved for use in 
future releases, or whatever)

This is all I can do for you, since I haven't had time to check this place
out myself. 

Good luck,
